Located in Ellenville, New York, just 90 minutes from New York City, it is also the most conveniently located hotel for your Pesach vacation. With beautiful grounds, lush scenery and a stately atmosphere reminiscent of days gone by, Honor's Haven is now the crown jewel of the Catskills. Nestled between the Shawangunk and Catskill Mountains, Honor's Haven offers a wide assortment of facilities, activities and exceptional service in a beautiful rustic setting.

The championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., offers an exquisite taste of nature as its backdrop.
